Talk to an AgentAll AlbertaLiving in Hussar
Hussar is in Wheatland County's eastern range, where the shortgrass prairie spreads toward the Saskatchewan border and the Bow River valley cuts through the dryland landscape. The village carries the name of a cavalry unit — unusual even by Alberta's eclectic settlement-era naming conventions — and sits in country that was Blackfoot territory before becoming one of Alberta's drier farming regions. The surrounding land is grain and cattle country, with the Siksika Nation immediately to the south and the Bow River valley accessible within the county.
The real estate market at Hussar is firmly in the affordable rural Alberta category — average prices around 60,000 for village homes on large lots, in a county where Strathmore (about 35 km northwest) is the nearest significant service centre and Calgary is roughly 100 km west. For buyers who want dryland prairie character, proximity to the Bow River corridor without Strathmore prices, and the particular quality of the shortgrass prairie landscape, Hussar and the Wheatland County east are an honest option at honest prices.

What is the landscape like around Hussar?

What are land transfer costs in Hussar?
